Alesse/Triphasil shortage
I don't normally like to post links to news articles, because I generally feel that if people were really interested, they'd be reading the news anyway. But I know plenty of people who don't pay attention to the news, and I know that plenty of these non-newsy types don't want to have babies anytime soon. Those that normally take alesse or triphasil may want to note the following article.

For the too long; didn't read it crowd, you'll want to at least be aware of this paragraph.
"The pills — under the Alesse and Triphasil names — are made by the U.S. company Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. The company temporarily stopped production of the two brands in August, which means some pharmacies have run out, making refills almost impossible to get."
Consider my half-assed good deed for the month done.
